CHARLOTTE, NC. May 31, 2012 — Bar Cocoa at The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte will open its much-anticipated Bar Macaron on Friday, June 1, just in time for a season of events set to shine the spotlight on culinary Charlotte.

Named in honor of the French “macaron”, Bar Macaron will present a colorful display of this delightful meringue-based cookie, which features a slightly crunchy, vibrantly-hued smooth exterior. Macarons are made with almond flour, egg whites and sugar, and then filled with a surprisingly flavorful sweet center.

The light and airy confections of Bar Macaron will be highlighted by the following temptations:

“We are delighted to add to our popular Bar Cocoa experience, and this special macaron offering has been designed in response to high demand for our Bar Cocoa best-seller,” said David Rothwell, general manager, The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte. “We look forward to sharing this confection presentation not only with indoor and outdoor diners at Bar Cocoa, but also as a treat to take home or to present as a gift.”
